Lennon on fame, revolution and the Rolling Stones

We're delighted that Maurice Hindle's previously unpublished interview[3] with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, conducted at Lennon's home in Surrey in December 1968, has attracted so[4]much[5]interest[6]. We've published Maurice's hugely evocative preamble to the interview and the first question and answer on newstatesman.com[7]. To read the full interview, you'll need to buy a copy of our sumptuous Christmas double issue[8].
